French Cookery Courses & Holidays in France with Simon Scrutton

Courses can be tailor-made for two or more people - so please enquire & tell me your needs - and future dates that might suit us all..

Learn to cook top-class French country-style dishes, on half/one day or three days courses – and take your cooking to a higher level - from a chef who has won Restaurant of the Year for Great Britain in one of Egon Ronay's prestigious annual guides.
Delicious food! Many dishes are quick - whilst those that take longer, their time is largely unattended, are saved for our 3 day courses, all recipes leave you free to continue your normal routine.
Our half day morning classes are offered, mainly aimed at people living locally who love to cook - but who want to increase their repertoire of dishes. Classes make an deal present, and might also give you delicious food at home!
One day courses, when you will leave with extra skills - and bags of confidence and passion to recreate the many recipes and ideas that you have learned on family and friends – or help you run your own restaurant.
Three day (4 night) residential courses - accommodation being offered in one of our gites, or at comfortable local B&B's. You can chose just to have cookery in the morning - leaving the rest of your day free - our make a day/s of it.

Simon is now based near Limoges – which has cheap flights to London Stansted, Southampton, Bristol, Gatwick, Manchester & East Midlands airports – plus cheap car hire from www.buggscarhire.com .
His 3 day courses can be built into your holiday whilst you enjoy our beautiful part of Charente, at the same time!

What did you like about the Cookery School?

Have just completed this course with my partner – which we most enjoyed. Stayed in a small gite on site on a DIY B&B basis. We are keen cooks, so knew some things already, but most was very new & easily repeatable at home – which we certainly will.
